Once you get the technique down, these little guys are easy to make. To make it super fast and easy, you can use just one color for the minifigures.

How to make edible LEGO-inspired valentines

You can find the LEGO ice cube trays/silicone molds on Amazon or also at the LEGO store. A rainbow of candy melting wafers are available at most craft stores (stores like Target and Walmart also carry some colors now). If making 3 colors for the minifigures is a bit hard at first, you can always use a solid color, which would be just as fun.
